Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, which were established in 1986, with the motive to provide quality education to those who lived in rural areas and otherwise had no access to it. In the past although a lot has been done to upgrade the educational scenario but in the state of Jammu and Kashmir Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas have failed to meet the expectation resulting into the low academic performance.
Recently parliamentary Committee has expressed concern over lack of quality education being offered to the students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in rural areas. It has asked the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to ensure quality education was imparted to the children to further improve the academic performance of the institutions.
The reason behind the poor performance of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in rural areas stated to be shortage of teachers and lacked infrastructure such as buildings and boundary wall. The committee said since the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas catered to the needs of rural children, the department should take steps to ensure quality education to them.
It is worthwhile to mention here that there are 17 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in the state — nine in the Jammu region and eight in the Kashmir region. The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNV) mandate was simple: provide quality education to those who lived in rural areas and otherwise had no access to it. The schools were to be residential so that all aspects of the child's life could be catered to, which in many cases was not possible at home for students from poor backgrounds.
The committee laid stress for providing intensive training to upgrade the knowledge of teachers and principals. Only 10 per cent vidyalayas in J&K conducted remedial classes while no special care was taken by teachers and no special training was held for average students. There was also no individual counselling. It also came to the fore during a survey that around 62.9 per cent students reported inadequacy of computers in the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in J&K.
